    Sad that one of your viewers would buy from someone else at your dealership.
    Thanks for being a great person and an outstanding ambassador for Corvette.

    Always at a loss for words on why anyone would buy a Corvette at Coughlin from someone other than Rick 🤯🤯🤯 Nice spec on that white Z06…won’t last long! Always grateful to be featured on the rides segment…nice photo from Rob at Paragon 💯

    You’re the best Rick! I don’t understand how someone could watch your videos and buy from a different salesperson. Sales is a difficult gig on the best of days and there are a lot of days when you don’t make a sale. So folks, support Rick by purchasing from him! Thank you for all the work you put in so that we can be educated and entertained! You have earned the right to ask for our business so don’t apologize for pointing out that we need to work with YOU and not a different sales rep at your dealership or anywhere else for that matter.
    Hope you feel better soon. I’m looking forward to seeing the competition yellow on a z51 HTC!!

    There is not a harder working guy in car sales than Rick Conti. Always straight and honest. His actions match his words and that is the definition of integrity. If you are going to buy a Corvette give him a shot. And for god's sake if you go to Coughlin Chevrolet don't buy from anyone else!

Your number #1 in my book!

    I daily my C8 ('21) and I recently took it in for my 30k mile oil service. The service rep said it's one of the highest mileage C8s he's seen! I feel sorry for those who think low mileage on a Chevy is some badge of honor. If you really were a car person, you would be driving it. Like Ricky said, don't save miles on the car for the next guy - who cares. Life is short. Keep up the great content Rick!

    Shame on those that come to the dealership, watch your channel and give their order to another salesperson. Also shame on the dealer for allowing that to happen. I am sure you bring so much sales and service business to the dealership. Also the dealer should at least cover a percentage of your out of pocket marketing costs as these incentives help them and you.
    The trouble with business today minimal appreciation.

    Rick - Thanks for another informative video. I am amazed that you can put together these RUclips vids and have a full time job selling Vettes. I certainly understand your frustration with people watching your RUclips channel, and telling you that they do, and then buying a Vette from someone else at your dealership. I would be very upset to say the least. Please keep going with the RUclips channel and vids, as well as selling Vettes as long as you can, or until the BS gets too much. Have a great day and say hi to Father Chuck.

  • @billmiller8782
    @billmiller8782 4 месяца назад +2

    Despite the additional year for warranty service on 2024 - they should still be changing their oil annually - especially those in the north or when their cars sit in their garage over the winter and condensation / water just builds up in the oil. Always good to start their year with fresh oil and filter.

  • @brettlamont4965

    Your candid conversation regarding the business of selling Corvette's was sorely needed, Rick.
    Too many self absorbed, egotistical, entitled people these days.
    After all, this is a *business* _not_ a charity. At the end of the day, you still have a primary career and that career is what provides for your family.
    To have other people disregard your position as a purveyor of Corvette's - only to do business elsewhere is deplorable.

    So, I'm thinking of getting an extended warranty but now I have the question concerning my DCT service. I had it serviced at 6940 miles. At the time, I didn't realize I really needed it to be over 7,000. Now I'm wondering if I get an extended warranty and something comes up with the DCT, will they deny coverage because I wasn't at 7,000 miles..... smh.

    Well i just put in my order with another salesman. Yes Rick you do have a problem on your end. Got with you awhile back and never got back to me. Tried again to give you my order as sent 3 e-mails in the last 2 weeks and no reply back. Not sure if this is the last for the 24 models so was looking to get this in. So i e-mailed Mike Furman sat 05/04 at 3pm with some info for my order. He sent me s reply monday 05/06 at 6-09am. I replied later that day and he sent me a link to reply to with info etc. Did finish up build etc today and order is going in with car coming late june/early july. So not sure what is going on at your end but i am sure i am not the only customer that moved on to get there orders in.Sorry Rick but tried twice. Hope your feeling better.

    Rick, Prior to about 2-3 months ago, I had no idea who you were or that Coughlin existed. As a small business owner who gives it her all, I COMPLETELY not only empathize with your message regarding folks coming in that YOU essentially brought there, then doing business with someone else, but ALSO how difficult it probably was for you to deliver that message. You are such a real, relatable fun-loving guy, so I KNOW it took a lot to get you to this point. Sometimes thing need to be said and you said it eloquently and from the heart. I respect you even more than before! Keep doing what you do... PLEASE! OK- Next topic: for a possible TECH TUESDAY QUESTION: My ERay has a chip of paint missing from a very odd place on the car. I am literally the only one who has driven it and it stays very well protected when I am not driving it. I am 95% sure a rock did not hit me...and if it did, it's in a very odd place: on top of the rear left quarter panel/deck lid. It would have made a crazy loud sound if a rock hit because it is quite dramatic (although small) - very noticeable. Have you heard of this with any Z06's or ERay's? Since my husband has a Z06, I joked with him that I drove it so fast I blew the paint off! KEEP SMILING MY FRIEND!

    Rick…you be you! We all love corvettes and Chuck. But when the rubber hits the road (thought that was kinda’ appropriate)…we’re watching because of you. Some people get it, some people just don’t! If they watch you and go to another salesperson…even at your dealership, maybe think of it as a blessing cause they’ll probably only cause you headaches in the future. Stay you brother!

    Is your sales manager letting you sell Z06s at MSRP yet? I remember your C7 upload that you used to tell folks not to pt over MSRP. If I were to buy a C8, I would surely check with you first. You're a great Guy and someone I'd love to do business with. I'm still thinking of ZR1, which I wrote you about when the introduced C8.

  • @greatmandingo1463
    @greatmandingo1463 4 месяца назад

    I would think there would be some professional courtesy there. Like a salesman asking "hey, welcome to coughlin chevrolet, how did you hear about us?" I'm sure you have opportunities to sell your customers silverados, blazers, etc... but you sell just corvettes. Corvettes are your gig at the dealership. Maybe the salesmen taking and selling your customers should have a talking to at a 8am meeting about who's who in the dealership and who brings those customers in?

  • @brianhmonks
    @brianhmonks 4 месяца назад

    Rick, well said and I am glad you aired it. You are the consummate professional. You made the buying experience actually enjoyable. The first time in my lifetime! The bonus, was that a friendship was founded. Some people may just be oblivious and assume that if they buy a car from your dealership that you get the credit. This may help remind them to deal directly with you. Cheers, Brian
